^'Consider  what  you  have  in  the  smallest  chosen 
library.  A  company  of  the  wisest  and  wittiest  men 
that  could  be  picked  out  of  all  civil  countries  m  a 
thousand  years,  have  set  in  best  order  the  results  of 
their  learning  and  wisdom.  The  men  themselves 
were  hid  and  inaccessible,  solitary,  impatient  of  in- 
terruption, fenced  by  etiquette;  but  the  thought 
which  they  did  not  uncover  to  their  bosom  friend  is 
here  written  out  in  transparent  words  to  us,  stran-

(Herewith  Ave  present  to  you  the  fourteenth  volume  of 
the  Index.  It  has  been  our  aim,  in  its  compilation,  to 
be  as  accurate  as  possible,  with  what  result,  reader,  we  leave  to 
you.  Our  work  has  been  pleasant ;  still,  we  are  not  anxious  to 
serve  on  next  year's  board  ;  and,  although  small  in  numbers,  we 
have  not  at  any  time  been  discouraged  in  its  preparation.  As  the 
purport  of  the  Index  has  been  stated  in  previous  volumes,  it  is 
unnecessary  to  repeat  it  here.  We  have  inserted  a  list  of  the 
recipients  of  the  different  prizes,  since  establishment,  thinking 
it  might  be 'of  interest  to  some.  Since  so  many  changes  have 
been  made  in  the  curriculum  the  past  year,  too  mimerous  to 
mention  here,  it  was  thought  best  to  publish  it. 

There  have  been  changes  made  in  the  Faculty  during  the 
past  year.  In  losing  President  Stockbridge,  we  lost  a  practical 
agriculturist  and  a  gentleman  who  thoroughly  understood  his 
profession.  On  leaving.  President  Stockbridge  Avas  presented 
with  a  gold-headed  cane  as  a  memento  of  our  esteem.  In  Presi- 
dent Chadbourne  we  have  a  thorough  scientist,  who,  from  the 
present  outlook,  promises  to  place  the  College  on  a  strong  basis. 
We  Avill,  as  students,  give  him  our  hearty  cooperation. 

We  regret  the  loss  of  Prof.  Harrington  from  the  chair  of 
Physics,  and  Civil  Engineering.  Although  associated  with  him 
but  for  the  short  space  of  a  year,  Ave  learned  fully  to  regard  his 
worth  as  a  gentleman  and  a  scholar.  Our  best  wishes  go  with 
him  to  his  neAv  field  of  labor. 

Though  the  chair  of  Agriculture  has  not  jet  been  supplied,  it 
has  been  filled  very  acceptably  by  J.  W.  Clark,  '72. 

We  Avelcome  the  new  Professor  of  Mathematics,  and  Ave  have  . 
every  reason  to  believe  that  he  Avill  make  his  department  a  suc- 
cess. 


We  take  tlie  liberty  to  suggest  that  this  is  not  a  military  acad- 
emy, but  an  Agricultural  College  ;  and  in  reference  to  the  drill 
we  can  say  that  "  too  much  of  a  good  thing  is  too  plenty." 

The  College  has  reason  to  congratulate  itself  in  securing  the 
services  of  Mr.  Wentzell  as  market  gardener.  The  crops  under 
his  care  during  the  past  year  proved  a  success,  notwithstanding 
the  dry  weather. 

Our  farm,  under  the  management  of  Mr.  D.  H.  Tillson,  is 
constantly  improving.  Leveling  and  draining  have  not  only 
added  to  the  fertility  of  the  land,  but  have  made  it  much  more 
13leasing  to  the  eye.  If  this  is  not  already  a  model  farm,  we 
have  every  reason  to  believe  that  the  time  is  not  far  distant  when 
it  will  stand  second  to  none  in  New  England. 

A  much-needed  change  has  been  made  in  the  terms.  This 
term  began  August  31,  a  week  later  than  usual ;  next  year  it 
will  begin  a  week  later  still.  There  will  be  a  three  days'  recess 
at  Thanksgiving,  and  the  term  closes  Tuesday  before  Christmas  ; 
then  a  three  weeks'  vacation.  The  remainder  of  the  year  is 
divided  into  two  terms,  with  a  short  vacation  in  March,  and 
commencement  at  the  usual  time.  To  have  the  farm  looking 
its  best,  commencement  should  be  a  week  later,  which  would 
bring  it  to  June  27. 

We  are  sorry  to  see  that  the  Senior  Class  takes  so  little  inter- 
interest  in  athletics,  as  we  consider  it  a  necessary  component  of 
college  life  ;  but  perhaps  it  is  all  that  could  be  expected  from 
such  a  lifeless  class. 

We  were  disappointed  in  the  number  of  Freshmen,  but  the 
interest  they  have  already  taken  in  college  duties  makes  up  to 
some  extent  their  deficiency  in  numbers. 

We  are  pleased  to  hear  of  the  appointment  of  Prof.  Groessmann 
for  Director  of  the  experimental  station,  as  it  is  known  that  no 
person  is  more  capable  of  directing  such  a  work  than  the  Pro- 
fessor, 

We  can  say  once  more,  but  with  more  assurance,  that  the 
prospects  of  the  College  were  never  better  than  at  the  present 
time.  With  the  new  building,  and  with  the  promise  of  more 
buildings  when  needed,  we  feel  Avarranted  in  saying  that  the 
success  of  the  College  is  inevitable. 

And  now  that  our  work  is  done,  we  present  it  to  you  for  your 
approval  or  condemnation.  With  many  thanks  to  those  who 
have  aided  us  in  any  way,  we  gladly  shake  from  our  feet  the 
dust  of  the  sanctum,  and  welcome  our  successors  from  '85.

^JT  has  just  been  an  anomalistic  year,  of  365  days,  6  hours, 
o^  13  minutes  and  40  seconds,  since  the  Class  of  '83  wielded 
the  editorial  quill,  and  the  old  stub  with  which  she  has  written  for 
the  last  three  years  is  swiftly  going  where  all  good  pens  go. 
But  though  the  Class  pen  is  getting  dulled  by  constant  use,  the 
intellect  which  has  ever  guided  and  controlled  it  is  sharper, 
clearer,  more  defined  and  much  more  intellectual,  by  the  con- 
tinual friction  against  the  superior  minds  of  our  honored  Fac- 
ulty, who,  like  the  potter,  receiving  our  minds  in  the  plastic 
form,  have  shaped  and  rounded  them,  adding  a  touch  here  and 
smoothing  off  some  corner  there,  until  they  have  at  last  pro- 
duced, as  near  as  may  be,  the  perfect  vessel. 

And  what  a  fearful  responsibility  rests  on  these  moulders  of 
the  human  intellect  !  Our  future  course  of  action — ay,  the 
shaping  of  the  very  destiny  of  our  lives — lies  within  their  con- 
trol. Then  how  essential  that  each  jiotter  should  possess  the 
elements  of  the  true  artist. 

And  here  we  take  occasion  to  exjDress  our  thanks  to  our  in- 
structors for  their  increasing  devotion  to  us,  and  who,  through 
sunshine  and  shadow,  have  ever  been  our  advisers  and  well- 
wishers. 

Never  in  our  College  course  has  the  horizon  of  hope  been 
illuminated  with  brighter  or  more  cheerful  prospects  than  at 
present.  "To  him  that  hath  shall  be  given"  seems  to  hold 
true.  The  State  gave  to  us  from  her  abundance.  We  see  a 
part  of  our  extensive  campus  furnishing  the  foundation  for  a 
new  Armory,  which  is  rapidly  being  constructed,  and  by  the 
time  Winter  shall  ^have  sifted  down  on  us  his  pure  mantle  of 
snow,  we  shall  have  a  drill  hall  which  will  be  both  safe  and 
pleasant  to  manceuver  in,  and  we  shall  not  be  obliged,  as  in  past 
Winters,  to  either  go  without  drill  entirely,  or  march  in  the  old 
(jjym.,  at  the  risk  of  our  devoted  heads. 


14 


Now  tiiat  tile  Experimental  Station  has  been  establislied  here, 
it  lends  a  new  featnre  of  interest  to  the  College,  wliile  the  I'e- 
sults  of  its  work  will  he  highly  heiiolici.-il  both  to  the  College 
and  State. 

In  fact,  everything  is  rapidly  progressing  here  at  the  College  ; 
and  with  such  a  President  at  the  head  of  it,  and  with  its  bright 
future,  nothing  should  prevent  the  rallying  to  the  standard  of 
the  M.  A.  C.  every  young  man  in  the  New  England  States  who 
wants  a  thorough  and  practical  college  education. 

And  now,  in  closing,  we  who  have  passed  through  the  wisdom 
and  folly  of  the  first  three  years  would  say  to  the  Junior  Classes, 
improve  your  time ;  for  the  time  is  only  too  near  when  you  can 
not  find  the  time  to  improve,  or  the  ability  to  improve  the  time. 
Get  the  idea  well  instilled  into  your  minds  that  it  is  not  for 
others,  but  for  your  own  personal  good,  that  you  are  partaking 
of  the  Tree  of  Knowledge,  and  there  will  not  only  be  a  greater 
degree  of  satisfaction  in  your  studies,  but  you  Avill  find  they 
benefit  you  more  hereafter,  when  you  come  in  contact  with  the 
outer  world,  and  take  your  voyage  on  the  turbulent  sea  of  life.

T  last  we  find  our  names  enrolled  as  Juniors,  and  in  accord- 
'^^o  ance  with  the  time-honored  custom  we  again  take  up  the 
traditional  pen.  and  here  inscribe  oar  deeds  of  the  past  and 
make  known  our  hopes  for  the  future.  Many  changes  have  been 
made  in  our  surroundings  since  we  first  came  here  as  students. 
Men  have  come  and  men  have  gone,  but  the  same  old  drama  of 
College  life  is  daily  played. 

When  in  the  Autumn  of  '80  our  Class  assembled  at  the  foot 
of  the  Hill  of  Science,  we  saw  no  reason  why  the  greater  part  of 
our  number  should  not  in  four  years  stand  upon  the  graduating 
platform  of  the  Agricultural  College.  But  we  were  disap- 
pointed ;  for  already  fifteen  of  our  original  number  have  left  us, 
and,  alas  !  two  of  our  beloved  classmates  we  have  with  reluctant 
hands  and  saddened  hearts  laid  beneath  the  sod.  Yet  we  are 
not  discouraged  by  the  loss  of  numbers,  for  each  departing  class- 
mate has  tended  to  strengtiien  rather  than  weaken  the  silver 
cord  of  friendship. 

As  we  cross  the  threshold  of  Junior  year,  let  us  take  one  ling- 
gering  look  into  the  past.  From  the  lowly  estate  of  Freshmen 
we  have  fought  our  way  upward  to  the  privileges  and  responsi- 
bilities of  Upper  Classmen.  We  have  been  fully  convinced,  dur- 
ing our  two  years  of  College  life,  that  a  great  many  factors 
should  enter  into  a  student's  training  besides  text  books.  Wher- 
ever any  fun  was  to  be  had  there  we  were  always  found. 


16 


Although  the  present  year  has  changed  our  name,  yet  Inwardly 
we  are  filled  with  the  same  old  Sophomoric  spirit  which  occa- 
sionally bursts  out,  notwithstanding  our  attempts  to  don  a  Ju- 
nior's dignity. 

We  congratulate  ourselves  that  as  a  class  we  have  always 
worked  togetlier  harmoniously.  We  have  overplayed  an  import- 
ant part  in  athletics,  while  in  the  class-room  we  have  proved 
equal  to  the  work  laid  before  us.  Next  term  we  are  to  write 
originals.  Then  will  Freshmen  wonder  at  our  wisdom,  and 
Seniors  listen  with  envy  to  our  words  of  eloquence. 

.  As  we  enter  upon  the  last  half  of  our  College  life,  we  realize 
as  never  before  how  rapidly  our  student  life  is  being  run  off 
from  the  reel  of  time.  Let  us,  therefore,  with  a  present  appre- 
ciation of  our  privileges,  weave  into  our  characters  such  a  love 
of  truth  and  usefulness  as  will  enable  the  Class  of  '84  to  send 
into  the  world  men  who  will  be  a  benefit  to  humanity  and  an

tUR  vacation  has  ended,  and  we  now  commence  another 
year  of  mingled  study  and  pleasure.  We  have  Just  passed 
the  first  milestone  of  our  college  life.  For  one  year  we  have 
seen  the  letter  F  glaring  forth  from  that  stone.  We  have  pa- 
tiently waited  for  the  time  when,  reaching  the  other  side,  we 
should  see  the  letter  S  shining  brightly  in  our  faces.  It  is  true 
we  are  but  one  step  higher  ;  but  it  shows  us  that  we  are  gaining 
ground,  and  we  must  remember  that  true  success  is  gained  a 
step  at  a  time. 

Several  of  our  classmates  had  reached  this  point,  but  for  vari- 
ous reasons  were  unable  further  to  pursue  the  course.  They 
have  our  best  wishes  for  their  success,  and  we  trust  we  shall 
ever  be  worthy  a  remembrance  by  them.  However,  we  have 
been  reinforced  so  that  our  number  remains  undiminished. 

The  care  usually  bestowed  upon  the  Freshmen  has  this  year 
been  dispensed  with,  as  it  was  thought  inconsistent  with  the 
new  management.  The  "grand  rush,"  although  awarded  to 
'86,  was  far  from  being  won  by  them.  It  was  jDrobably  owing  to 
the  fact  that,  in  the  con].motion  of  the  moment,'  the  judge  was 
unable  to  see,  but,  sympathizing  with  the  Freshmen,  decided  in 
their  favor.  It  might  be  supposed  that  we  were  growing  quite 
infirm,  judging  from  the  number  of  walking-sticks  in  use  ;  but 
such  is  evidently  not  the  belief  of  the  Freshies,  though  they 
have  never  dared  to  prove  our  condition. 

As  we  have  completed  a  year  at  this  institution,  we  naturally 
ask  ourselves,   Have  we  accomplished  anything  ?    I  think  we 


18 


iiave.  Althoug-li  our  year's  work  may  appear  small,  yet  we  have 
certainly  laid  the  foundation  for  future  acquirements.  As  we 
look  back  over  the  past  year,  we  may  see  many  errors  due  to  our 
inexperience.  Let  us  profit  by  our  observations,  and  strive  to 
avoid  such  mistakes  in  the  future.  Our  studies  for  the  coming 
year  promise  to  be  even  harder  than  usual.  A  few  changes  con- 
cerning them  seem  to  meet  with  approval,  as  may  be  inferred 
from  the  fetu  that  avail  themselves  of  the  French  optional ;  also 
Chemistry,  which  has  been  transferred  to  the  Sophomore  year. 
It  is  probably  supposed  that  we  are  better  able  to  comprehend 
its  secrets  ;  but  even  yet  it  is  extremely  hard  for  most  of  us  to 
grasjD  the  ideas  of  our  Professor. 

As  so  small  a  class  has  entered  to  fill  the  places  of  the  late 
Seniors,  greater  action  devolves  upon  us  ;  and  never  let  it  be 
said  of  us  : 

"  You  are  dull,  and  those  sparks  of  life 

That  should  be  in  an  Aggie,  you  do  want. 

Or  else  you  use  not."  P. 


19 


.00— hoo — boo — lioo — bah — Eighty-Six  !" 
^^     This,  reader,  is  our  Class  howl.     We  give  this  cry, 
because  we  know  there  is  not  another  Class  in  College  that  has 
a  yell  anything  like  ours.     It  was  got  up  to  frighten  the  bold, 
bad  Sophs.,  but  they  don't  scare  worth  a  cent. 

When  we  first  came  to  College,  our  mas  said  we  must  not 
associate  with  naughty  boys,  but  must  be  good  ;  so  most  of  us 
are  going  to  join  the  pi'eying  band.  Our  moral  character  is  as 
unimpeachable  as  the  Declaration  of  Independence  and  a  Fourth- 
of-July  picnic.  We  don't  know  what  this  means,  but  as  a  Senior 
said  so  it  must  be  true. 

We  don't  smoke  cigarettes,  play  penny  ante,  nor  walk  out 
with  girls  in  the  daytime  that  we  have  not  been  introduced  to. 
We  don't  carry  canes,  either,  as  much  as  we  did.  We  were  all 
sick  at  first,  and  one  fellow  with  big  red  eyes  went  home  to  see 
his  ma,  and  has  not  come  back  yet ;  probably  College  life  didn't 
suit  him. 

There  is  one  little  boy  in  our  Class  they  call  Spring  Chicken  ; 
we  don't  know  why,  unless  it  is  because  he  has  got  a  beak  on  him 
like  a  hen.  0  !  we  must  tell  you  about  Bill.  He  is  a  funny 
boy,  Bill  is.  He  has  got  a  voice  like  a  big  bull  frog.  He  beats 
the  assembly,  and  is  a  good  drummer. 

The  Sophs,  were  awful  mad  because  they  didn't  win  the  rush. 
One  of  them  was  so  mad  that  he  yelled  out  in  a  sarcastic  way  : 


20 


"  Why  did  the  judge  say  he  thought  Eighty-Six  won  ?  Why 
didn't  he  say  they  did  won  ?"  We  challenged  the  8oj)hs.  to  a 
game  of  base  ball,  but  they  would  not  play  us.  Probably  they 
have  not  forgotten  about  the  rush.  We  gave  them  to  under- 
stand that  we  were  not  to  be  fooled  with,  and  we  don't  mean  to 
be  fooled  with,  either. 

Our  relations  with  the  Faculty  have  not  been  very  pleasant, 
because  when  they  look  at  us  we  are  so  frightened  that  we  flunk 
right  along.  One  Professor,  called  Johnnie,  is  the  sternest,  and 
scares  us  more  than  the  rest,  but  we  have  been  told  that  he  is 

I     not  dangerous. 

I;         Ours  is  a  smart  Class.     We  run  a  minstrel  show,  a  base  ball 

||     nine,  and  intend  to  run  things  in  general. 

I         "Boo — hoo — boo — hoo — bah — Eighty-six."

•^^  Levi  over  the  Aggies,  that  he  said  unto  the  people  :  "  Have 
I  not  dwelt  in  this  land  fonrteen  years  ?  And  behold  the  time 
draweth  nigh  that  I  should  depart ;  therefore  choose  ye  a  man 
to  rule  in  my  stead."  Then  were  the  hearts  of  the  people  ex- 
ceedingly sad.  Nevertheless  they  put  a  staff  in  his  hand,  and 
he  departed  into  a  far  country. 

Then  the  elders  gathered  themselves  together,  and  chose  one 
Paul,  a  Williamite,  to  rule  over  the  people.  Now  Paul  was  a 
man  skilled  in  all  manner  of  sciences.  And  he  gave  new  laws 
unto  his  subjects,  even  laws  respecting  the  destruction  of  prop- 
erty; and  against  all  manner  of  wickedness.  And  he  declared, 
as  one  having  authority,  that  "whosoever  broke  these  laws 
should  not  prosper,  but  would  be  sent  back  in  shame  to  the  land 
of  his  fathers." 

And  it  came  to  pass,  in  the  season  nigh  unto  harvest,  when 
the  melon  and  gooseberry  were  ripened,  and  the  festive  notes  of 
the  cricket  and  bullfrog  were  heard  throughout  the  land,  that 
many  striplings  from  the  region  round  about  came  to  the  gates 
of  the  temple  of  learning,  and  cried  Avith  a  loud  voice,  "  Open 
unto  us  !"  Then  answered  the  chief  priest,  "  Why  come  ye 
hither  ?  and  what  seek  ye  ?"  Then  with  one  accord  they  replied, 
"We  seek  to  be  Freshmen."  Then  did  the  chief  priest  jDnt  unto 
them  certain  strange  questions,  to  which  if  they  answered  well 
they  should  come  m,  but  if  not  they  should  dwell  without  the 
temple  forever.  And  having  called  upon  one  Robert,  whose 
surname  is  derived  .from  the  bearers  of  the  palm,  he  said^unto 
him,  "Repeat  to  us  the  table  wherewith  wine  is  measured." 
And  in  these  words  did  Robert  answer  him  : 

"  Four  gills  make  one  drink  ; 
Two  drinks  make  one  drunk  ; 
Four  drunks  make  one  flunk."

T\\v\\  (lid  tlu'  chii'i'  priest  require  of  one  Euton,  that  he  .should 
dechire  ;i  eertaiii  hiw  of  his  own  hinguage;  to  whieh  lie  answered  : 

"  1  am  loved, 
She  is  loved, 
We  are  loved." 

iVnd  when  the  striplings  had  answered  many  such  questions,  the 
chief  priest  said  unto  tlieni,  '•  Well  done,  3'e  good  and  tender 
shoots;  3^e  shall  surely  dwell  in  the  temple  of  learning,  for 
verily  these  are  the  words  of  truth  and  wisdom." 

Now  when  the  chief  priest  had  thus  spoken,  behold,  these 
same  Freslnnanites  became  possessed,  of  exceeding  self-conceit, 
for  great  was  their  pride  ;  and  they  gathered  themselves  together 
in  the  tent  of  one  Copeland  :  and  lo,  there  was  no  head.  Then 
was  one  chosen  from  among  them  who  should  preside,  and  also 
one  who  should  write  down  the  sayings  of  the  wise,  and  who 
was  called  the  scribe.  Now  wlien  they  had  disposed  themselves 
in  their  various  stations,  behold  they  did  greatly  work  their 
jaws,  and  did  shoot  forth  many  high-sonnding  words,  saying 
that  they  were  no  slouches,  and  would  in  their  time  win  ever- 
lasting glory. 

Now  it  hapi)ened  that  tliere  was  at  the  temple  of  learning  a 
custom  handed  down  through  the  ages,  that  the  Sophomorites 
and  tlio  Freshnuinites  should  "•rush."  And  it  came  to  pass,  in 
the  still  watches  of  the  night,  that  the  Freshmanites  clothed 
themselves  for  the  contest  and  issued  forth  upon  the  campus  ; 
and  when  they  had  uttered  their  war  cry  and  howled  lustily, 
the  Sophomorites  came  out  against  them.  Then  did  each  tribe 
invoke  the  aid  of  the  God  of  Battle.  And  they  did  exceedingly 
hump  themselves.  But  the  great  and  surpassing  valor  of  the 
Freshmanite  prevailed.  And  when  the  conflict  was  brought  to 
a  close,  the  Sophomores  gathered  themselves  up  like  unto  twelve 
baskets  of  fragments,  and  there  was  among  them  weeping  and 
wailing  and  gnashing  of  teeth.  Then  great  wrath  taketh  pos- 
session of  the  conquered  tribe,  and  in  time  a  spirit  nourished  by 
the  devil  cometh  u})on  them,  which  caused  them  to  gibe  and 
scoft'  at  the  words  of  him  who  acted  as  Judge  in  the  contest. 
And  then  did  the  men  of  the  other  tribes  rub  their  hands 
together  and  smile  loudly,  and  say,  *' Verily,  these  things  remind 
lis  of  our  early  days." 

He  that  hath  an  ear,  let  hiiu  hear,  and  take  heed  unto  these 
words.

Revised  Course  of  Study,  in  substuuce,  same  as  already  ap- 
proved.    This  Course  may  be  slightly  varied  for  convenience. 

French  and  German  are  hereafter  to  be  optional  studies. 

Studies  of  first  two  terms  of  each  year  are  so  arranged  as  to 
make  a  connected  course  by  themselves,  or  so  nearly  a  connected 
course,  that  students  can  be  absent  the  Summer  term  and  do 
such  work  as  will  enable  them  to  go  on  with  their  classes. 
Such  students  not  to  receive  the  same  degree  as  those  who  spend 
three  terms  of  each  year  in  college  work. 

Provision  is  also  made  for  Post-graduate  students,  especially 
in  the  chemical  course,  and  in  connection  with  the  Experiment 
Station. 

It  is  impossible,  in  advance,  to  fix  the  exact  amount  of  time 
for  each  study.  Other  studies  will  be  introduced  from  time  to 
time  as  the  wants  of  college  demand.

V^^HAT  something  from  the  pen  of  a  graduate  of  the  Massa- 
n^^^  chusetts  Agricultural  College  shall  be  contributed  to  the 
pages  of  the  Index,  has  come  to  be  a  thing  of  yearly  expectation 
by  its  large  and  increasing  number  of  readers.  And  so,  on  this 
occasion,  to  aid  and  encourage  the  publication  of  this  mirror  of 
college  life,  and  to  call  to  mind  our  existence  as  Alumni,  we 
with  some  hesitation  indulge  in  the  production  of  a  short  article 
for  completing  the  pages  devoted  to  Alumni  Statistics. 

As  year  by  year  flies  past  and  more  are  added  to  our  number  ; 
as  the  months,  weeks  and  moments  are  carrying  us  onward  in  the 
paths  of  life,  to  be,  we  trust,  bright,  efficient  and  shining  lights 
in  our  own  community,  at  least,  it  is  no  more  than  natural,  and 
no  more  than  right,  that  we  should  occasionally  look  back  with 
interest  upon  those  who  are  fighting  the  same  battles  that  we 
fought,  and  upon  those  who  have  taken  our  places  in  the  sphere 
of  college  life.  There  is  no  one  of  us  who  does  not  at  times 
indulge  in  mental  retrospects  of  the  years  passed  in  the  good  old 
town  of  Amherst ;  who  does  not  recall  the  familiar  faces  of 
friends,  professors  aud  classmates  ;  who  does  not  note  with  inter- 
est every  step  in  the  line  of  improvement  :  and  there  are  none 
that  in  such  reveries  do  not  entertain  the  brightest  hopes  of  the 
future  usefulness  of  our  common  Alma  Mater.  We  have  seen 
the  tide  of  its  prospects  ebb  until  the  lowest  limit  was  reached, 
and  now  gladly  watch  the  returning  flood,  flowing  in  response  to 
the  almost  inevitable  laws  of  the  public  weal,  which  demands 
that  those  who  are  in  the  future  to  supply  our  teeming  popula- 
tion with  food  and  clothing  shall  have  in  their  ranks  educated, 


cultured  aiicl  refined  meu.  And  from  tliis  time  forth  eacli  clasfc!, 
in  departing  from  the  shades  of  this  educational  institution, 
will,  in  their  turn,  mark  higlier  upon  the  sands  of  time  the  suc- 
cessive careers  of  its  usefulness. 

We  as  Alumni  are  yet  young,  bouyant,  full  of  life,  and  unit(^d, 
though  Death's  sickle  has  lessened  our  ranks  upon  four  sad  oc- 
casions. The  many  inhabitants  of  the  State  who  lose  no  o])por- 
tunity  to  sneer  at  the  idea,  that  to  be  a  farmer,  an  education  is 
just  as  necessary  as  in  the  following  of  any  other  pursuit,  and 
those  Avho  look  with  distrust  ujiou  the  very  existence  of  the  in- 
stitution, should  bear  in  mind  that  it  is  still  in  one  sense  an 
experiment,  and  that  from  this  circumstance  it  cannot  help 
laboring  under  a  disadvantage  inherent  in  all  new  undertakings. 
Surely  it  is  to  be  hoped  that  those  are  growing  beautifully  less 
in  number  who  would  consider  money  as  wasted  when  used  to 
educate  a  farmer.  Those  who  have  graduated  from  any  Agri- 
cultural College,  even  if  not  engaged  in  agriculture  or  its  kin- 
dred pursuits,  can,  nevertheless,  wield  an  influence  for  good  if 
they  will.  The  sentiment  that  the  life  of  a  farmer  does  not 
necessarily  place  him  upon  a  lower  round  of  society's  ladder  can 
be  made  prominent,  while  we  can  be  living  proofs  of  the  fact 
that  on  the  man,  not  the  labor,  depends  his  position  in  society 
and  the  amount  of  respect,  accorded  to  him  by  his  fellow-men. 

But  enough  for  the  future  and  ourselves.  Our  thoughts 
instinctively  turn  to  you  who  are  even  now  running  a  four-years' 
race  at  college,  helping  each  other  out  of  difficult  places  in  your 
studies;  also  assisting  mutually  to  shirk  as  many  more,  laying- 
nefarious  plans  to  obtain  "  bolts,"  and  resisting,  as  all  students 
do,  many  of  the  rules  of  the  institution.  Not  by  any  means 
woiild  we  attempt  to  advise,  or  pass  judgment  upon  such  pro- 
ceedings, for  only  too  often  have  we-been  there  ourselves.  The 
number  of  classes  who  have  left  our  College  is  now  eleven.  You 
who  are  now  there  will  swell  the  number  to  fifteen.  Think  how 
each  moment  irresistibly  is  carrying  you  onward  to  the  future, 
and  how  the  opportunities  for  gaining  knowledge  at  the  Massa- 
chusetts Agricultural  College  are  numbered.  Strive  that  your 
minds  may  be  the-  better  able  to  grasp  the  few  remaining  and 
make  good  use  of  them,  is  the  only  hint  we  will  throw  out  as  to 
your  future  actions. 

We  look  with  interest  for  each  succeeding  number  of  the 
Index.     We  are  living  in  that  position,  or  angle,  which  allows 


77 


us  to  see  in  its  pages  the  reflection  of  the  life  we  once  enjoyed. 
And  if  by  adding  to  its  pages  once  a  year  a  few  lines  we  can  show 
our  continued  interest  in  the  future  welfare  of  our  Alma  Mater, 
or  in  your  efforts  in  the  pursuit  of  an  education,  or  in  the  success 
of  the  Index,  our  efforts  will  not  be  wholly  lost. 

Alumnus.

DAYIS  SWING  CHURN. 


JS  A  SI  EST  TO   USE! 


EASIEST  TO  CLEAN! 


It  does  not  require  more  than  half  as  much  effort  to  work 
as  the  easiest  revolving  or  crank  churn.  It  is  like  a  pendu- 
lum— start  it  and  it  will  almost  swing  itself.  It  has  very 
great  advantages  over  the  revolving  churns.  It  is  not  an 
unusual  occurrence  for  the  cover  in  the  revolving  churns  to 
fall  out  and  let  all  the  cream  on  to  the  floor,  losing  more 
than  the  price  of  the  churn  at  one  time.  The  cover  in  the 
Davis  Swing  is  always  on  top. 

EUREKA  BUTTER  WORKER. 

The  Worker  is  built  in  the  most  thorough  manner 
and  is  so  simple  that  it  is  offered  at  an  extremely 
low  price.  It  is  constructed  upon  the  only  correct 
principle  for  working  butter  quickly  and  easily 
without  injuring  the  grain  or  texture  of  the  butter. 
It  combines  all  the  good  points  of  the  lever  and 
roller  workers,  with  the  objectionable  features 
overcome. 

Nesbitt's  Patent  Butter  Printers 

These  are  the  strongest,  truest  and  handiest  of  all  the 
single-lever  presses,  and  admit  of  very  rapid  working. 

The  working  parts  are  secured  by  wedges,  so  as  to  be 
easily  removed  for  cleansing  and  scalding;  and  the  top 
or  lid  is  automatically  fastened  down  by  a  wooden  latch. 
A  very  heavy  pressure  may  be  applied  if  the  butter  is 
hard.  The  machine  is  exceedingly  well-made,  of  hard 
wood,  with  brass  hinges  and  screws,  of  plain  but  finished 
,,..__  workmanship.       The   butter  is  printed  in    rectangular 

/Half-pound  Press,  showing\     (brick)  form,  and  is  removed  upon  the  stamp  block.
